In the final show of “Jon & Kate Plus 8” Monday, John and Kate Gosselin will take the children on separate outing and reflect on the past and talk about their future apart.

As the long-running TLC reality series takes it final breath, Jon will take the eight children to a Berks County fire station and Kate takes them to a Berks County dairy farm.

In September, TLC was going to kick off “Kate Plus Eight” this month, concentrating on the kids and their mom, but Jon scuttled that plan when he said TLC couldn’t film the children.

‘“Kate Plus Eight’ is not in production,” TLC spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg said Thursday. “We are focusing on the launch of Kate’s new series in early spring.”

She said no details were available on what kind of show it might be.

Meanwhile the “Jon & Kate” time slot will go to baker Buddy Valastro and his reality series “Cake Boss.”

TLC has a vested interest in continuing with some form of the franchise. The episode in which Jon and Kate announced their separation garnered a whopping 10.6 million viewers. Numbers dropped off but a pair of episodes this week averaged 2.1 million viewers.

Meanwhile TLC and Jon are gearing up for a showdown in court next month when TLC’s high-powered lawyers pull out all the stops in the breach of contract suit against Jon calling up his girlfriend, former fling and Central Catholic grad Kate Major and Lindsay Lohan’s dad.

There wouldn't be any show that they put Kate on that I would bother to watch.I don't believe that there is any subject that she is capable of giving advice on - except maybe how to hire help to take care of her kids, house, laundry etc. She' s not a mother, she's an employer pretending to be a good mother.

Karen could not have said it better. Kate is not a mother and never has been, she is a pimp of the worst kind.
TLC would be smart to never sign another contract with this person. Let her and her soon to be ex fade into the woodwork where they belong.
To the author of this story and others who write about these two, please quit--we your viewing and paying public want to hear about our much-loved actresses and actors instead of these two pseudo-celebrities.
